I am a C Programmer

Yes. I'm a C programmer. So? I don't see a problem. I embraced my UNIX soul long ago and I am happy together with my compiler (who is a cute layered front/backend design!). We have a fucking lot of functions in and outside of the kernel and I am pretty compact and resource conserving.

But thanks anyway asshole. Go and beat off to your stupid garbage collection shit while I #INCLUDE <stdio.h> with my preprocessor.

you just have to explicitly call it. And if you want the inheritance with destructors to work, you just have to explicitly call the destructor of the parent class from the destructor of the child class. There is the issue of forgetting to call the destructors for scoped variables on the stack. You can't really get around that, so you have to be careful to remember, at it is error prone.

Sure there is. Keep in mind that both C++ and Objective C compilers used to be nothing more than preprocessors that generated regular C code.
